Prokineticin 2 is involved in the thermoregulation and energy expenditure.

Regulatory peptides - 10 Nov 2012

Zhou Wenbai, Li Jia-Da, Hu Wang-Ping, Cheng Michelle Y, Zhou Qun-Yong

Abstract excerpt

Animals have developed adaptive strategies to survive tough situations such as food shortage. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we provided evidence that the regulatory peptide prokineticin 2 (PK2) played an important role in such an adaptation. The PK2 expression was rapidly induced in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) after fasting, which can be mimicked by...
